Many fear the pain of surgery. LASIK in particular deals with a notoriously sensitive part of your body— the eyes—so it is no wonder why people may feel this way. However, LASIK is a virtually painless experience thanks to special eye drops that are used. These eye drops con...

A promising treatment for childhood near-sightedness (myopia) is welcome news at a time when more and more kids are being diagnosed with the condition. Studies show that a low-dose of atropine, typically given as eye drops at bedtime, can significantly slow the progression of myopia in children, preventing severe near-sightedness.

Blepharospasm is a neurological condition that causes abnormal contraction of the eyelid muscles, abnormal blinking or eyelid tic or twitch. Patients with this condition generally seek Botox treatment to reduce the symptoms.

Strabismus (misaligned eyes) in adults is often the result of progressive, untreated or unsuccessfully treated strabismus from childhood. There are also many adults who develop strabismus as the result of an injury or disease, which then frequently leads to double vision.

The retina is the inside back wall of the eye where light is focused onto it by the cornea and lens in front of the retina. The retina then transmits an electrochemical signal created by this light to the brain via the optic nerve. This is how the perception of sight is performed. The central retina is called the macula. The macula is in charge of your central vision for tasks such as reading letters and recognizing faces. The rest of the peripheral retina is in charge of your peripheral or side vision.

You realize that you’re having problems hearing in certain situations or, family members are bugging you to have your hearing tested. You may even be aware that you probably need a hearing aid. However, you’d really like to know, “How long can I wait to get a hearing aid?” We all have issues that we’d rather avoid, for example we put off going to the dentist or to the doctor unless we’re in pain. You’d probably get to a hearing healthcare provider more quickly if a hearing loss caused physical pain, but that’s not typically the first sign of hearing loss.

Vision is the primary way that we experience the world around us. Good vision is key to how we learn, how we play, and even how we communicate. Your child's doctor should examine the eyes at each well-child visit.
